Simmo, I have had the same problem with this exact same website. Unfortunately the crafty sods are (ab)using the instant messaging facility inbuilt in windows to send messages to your pc. The best way to stop this is to:

1) Left click the start button,
2) Highlight the "Run" command and left click,
3) When the Run window appears type "services.msc",
4) The services window will appear,
5) From the list of options find "Messenger",
6) Right click on it and press "Properties",
7) Stop and disable the service.

This will stop the ads but will also prevent you from using your messenger service. It's one or the other unfortunately, but it worked for me.
